Cambodia Maize Production In Cambodia, maize is widely adapted to soils in the higher rainfall upland area. The main variety currently grown in Cambodia is red maize (also known as yellor maize) which is grown for the feed market, whereas white maize is grown for human consumption. Maize is second in importance after rice in terms of cultivated area and production. The main production area are the provinces Battambang and the Municipality of Pailin. Maize is also grown in Kampong Cham, Kampot, Kandal, Banteay Meanchey and Takeo Provinces. Maize has been indentified as having a large potential for growth in production and profit for the Cambodian farmers. Maize is one of the worlds most important cereal crop after rice and wheat, and because of increasing global demand for stockfeed, especially as China develops a greater demand for meat, it is predicted that maize demand will continue to rise. As new agronomic methods and technology are adopted it is hoped that the average Cambodian maize yield will continue to increase up to around 10 t/ha. Maize is also grown on lowland rice soils that are hard setting, poorly structured and low in nutrient levels due to leaching. Yields on these soils are very low and maize production is considered uneconomical.

CORN PRODUCTION IN CAMBODIA

1. Maize Production, distribution and usage Average annual production is over 660,000 tonnes between 2008 and 2010. Maize is the third largest crop produced in Cambodia, behind rice 7,175,473 ton and cassava 3,676,232 ton (on average). Red maize production is concentrated in ten provinces. Red maize grown in the western provinces with the majority exported to Thailand. For this reason, mainly Thai varieties are grown. The remainder is sold into the local market in Phnom Penh or sent to Vietnam. The provinces of Battambang, Banteay, Meanchey and Pailin accounted for about 91% of red maize production in 2004-2005. Refer Table 1. Quality characteristics preferred by buyers include grain of good even colour with no mould or soil contamination. Price influenced by crop quality as well as market demand. Maize export consist entirely of the raw commodity and almost ends up at Charoen Pokphand-Cambodia feed processing facilities in Thailand.
